Critics have argued that this is an ethnocentrist view, which universalized Jung's archetypes into human beings' archetypes.

I'm not so sure ethnocentrist is the right word here. --DanielCD 15:40, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Note: I marked my first "minor copyedit" edit as a minor edit by accident. It is not a minor edit. --DanielCD 15:46, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps he means ecocentric? Pertaining to a "home-sphere" as apposed to a race?

[edit] Collective Concious/Unconcious

I'm not sure references to collective conciousness, or hive minds, should be in this article. For one thing, it has nothing to do with commanlity of experience or shared cultures. In a hive mind, every individual acts as an independant synapse, allowing the hive to work as a gestalt. Secondly, there are so so SO many hive minds in fiction, from the Tyranids of Warhammer 40K to the Zergs of Spacecraft, that listing all of them would be an article unto itself. -- Raveled

I would suggest giving examples of collective unconscious in modernist literature, that was the beginning, the revolution so to say.

[edit] Collective Unconscious is NOT Universal Consciousness!

Collective Unconscious is NOT Universal Consciousness - the redirection from Universal Consciousness to Collective Unconscious should be removed.
